Both are natural strong safeties and neither have a ton of range like the role of what Reggie Nelson did for us. If you add someone that can play centerfield to this defense, you will see a ton of pressure taken off the CB's.
This is very true. This is why i was for starting Derron Smith at FS most of the year and using Shawn as a Nickel LB.
Jamal Adams would be much better though and if Hooker is taken early Adams might fall to us and i am not against us drafting him.
He is no Shawn Taylor, nobody is but he would be our best Safety pretty soon on down the line i am sure of it and like you said would take a ton of pressure off our CB's. Adams is a bigger hitter than Hooker too and would fit in well in the AFC North and punish some Steelers.
